  • Bombing the snot out of civilians was sorta de rigueur in WWII. If you want to get on your high horse, the Tokyo fire bombings were far, far worse. That sort of thing doesn’t go well for people in bamboo and paper houses.

    And then you had the Imperial Army, who was so over the top even Nazis were like, “Maybe tone it down a bit?” So maybe chill on American “war crimes”, unless you have the stomach to read about Japan’s actions.

    Funny thing about bombing civilians in the European Theatre, it was all a bit of a mistake. A German mission was a tad lost and bombed London. So Churchill said, “Oh yeah? Well fuck you too!”

    Damn. I really want one, but I already have a Colt .45 and the weight is the same. Is it this one?

    Speaking of hogs, I’m outside all the time in NW Florida and have never seen one or evidence of them. OK, two came to my house, apparently lost, but I’ve never seen them in the wild. Horror of mine as a sounder would level my camp in the boonies. Where they at?!






  • I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other… odd design choices.

    Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.
